Hi All-
I am brushing this thread off and re-newing my offer. I've had some great folks use my plane over the last year and recently move on to purchase aircraft of their own.
The Baron is in perfect shape, just had the heater and right prop overhauled, as well as the FIKI TKS system serviced for the winter. As usual, she is based in Linden NJ in a nice private hangar with a strong Tug.
I've gone through the insurance stuff before, and anyone interested should expect to pay between $2500-3000 per year to get on my insurance, assuming decent flight history & multi experience.
Please see original thread below and DM if interested.
Hi All-
I posted this about 2 years ago and had a great arrangement with 2 gentlemen, who recently upgraded to their own planes. Open to speaking with others. Why buy in this market if you can dry lease a top of the line plane?
I own and fly N212SM, a 1973 B55 currently hangared at KLDJ, just outside Manhattan. I fly purely for recreation about 120-150 hrs per year and the plane certainly could fly more. If you are looking to dry-lease a Baron in the NYC area, please get in touch. I fly almost exclusively on weekends, so people looking for mid-week or business use are ideal.
This is for qualified pilots only- this is NOT a trainer aircraft. You must have at least 50 hours Multi already, or a multi-rating and a good amount of Bonanza/Beechcraft time, or we aren't a fit. Also, not for burger hops- if you have distances to fly and good hours to put on the plane let's talk! After an initial checkout, this is for folks who will use the plane with some regularity- not for people who want to jump in a Baron every 4 months.
Speed is around 177 KTAS LOP at Cruise, 22 GPH or 190 KTAS ROP around 27 GPH cruise
Holds 136 gallons and 1500lb useful load. I have all 6 seats, but typically 2 are removed. 4 Bose, 2 Lightspeed ANR headsets.
She is in my private hangar at LDJ airport, has her own SuperTug for easy in and out.

I am a 1400 hour pilot, Type rated for Single Pilot in a Citation Mustang, as well as checked out in the TBM. I operate a very professional flight operation and expect anyone using my plane to do the same- she deserves it! You'll find my hangar warm, convenient and amazingly close to the city or other Tri-State areas.
Let me know if you're interested, I can share more pictures and we can discuss. Process to get on my insurance would be a 1-2 hr checkout with my BPPP CFII.
Rate is $475/hr, with discounts for block time purchases.
Thanks,
Mike
